Hi Folks, I've recently re-entered the shooting gallery with an Airforce Texan SS .457 big bore airgun. I've been hording and melting WW's and other lead for casting my boolits. I will need a mould for HPs, I'm thinking 280-305 grain HPs. Can anyone offer me access to, or where to find, moulds for these? Being a newbee, I'm open to input and assistance. Thanks in advance for your kind response. Keep 'em smiling... Tom

The NOE 460-350 HP runs 332 grs with 98% pure lead 2% tin and shoots very very well in my gun
also the RCBS 45-300 solid it runs approx 315 grns
Keep in mind at approx. 950 FPS you will get very little expansion..

300576 Thats 3 shots of the NOE 460 350 HP solid at 100 yds

This 315 HP Plain Base is in stock right now .. shows 287 Gr as a hollow point.. If he offers the cup point pins for this as well you would probably be looking at close the 305 Grns
